Taming the conscious beast[training samehada]

Dray sat and rested on a tree with the shark skin laying some inches away from him. The weapon of great effectiveness. A deadly weapon in the hands of the right wielder but a life taker in the presence of an opponent. The weapon was truly something to behold. It was the samehada. One of the swords of the seven swordsmen of the mist. The village of kirigakure. The wielder of the weapon had encountered dray on one of his mission. He posed a great threat towards dray but in the end, the sword somehow felt that it's wielder was not worthy of it and so, dray managed to defeat him though he too was almost exhausted. The blade seemed to have the ability to devour chakra and absorb chakra from opponents too upon contact with them. He remebered while sending a suiton jutsu towards the opponent, the blade ate it all and it also weakened dray by sucking chakra out of him when he came in contact with it but while looking closely, dray could see the fatigued expression once in a while on the wielder's face. The sword seemed to feed on chakra from him too.

Now, this great shark skin weapon was right before dray. Dray had tried to hold the weapon by the handle but it kept protruding spikes from it's handles that pricked dray's hands. The only way he was able to bring this weapon out to the open was by dragging it with a rope all the way here. How was he supposed to wield the weapon as the weapon seemed conscious and refused dray too. Finally, dray got up from where he was sitting and stood just a few inches away from the swords but with reasonable distance. He put forth his hand and ejected ice from it onto the sword that was in bandages but upon getting to the sword, it was absorbed in an instance. Dray looked carefully and smiled. A weapon of greatness. Dray braced himself and called forth.. "Samehada!! Your wielder is dead and you now fall unto me. Now open up your gates of acceptance for I shall wield you!!!"... Dray concluded as the clouds rumbled and the sword seemed to move.. Dray moved over to the sword and cut his index finger with a kunai as blood came out and he dropped it on the bandaged weapon. He wanted the weapon to have a taste of him. A cold chill of ice.. With all courage mustered, dray picked up the sword. The spikes began to protrude slowly but dray still held on. The spikes were now hurting him but he still held on. He could not take it any longer. The spikes from the handle of the samehada were now piercing through his palm. With all the force in him, he raised up the sword and dipped it into the ground as a crack was heard in the earth. The spikes rapidly retracted and dray could feel chakra being absorbed from his body but as the same time, he could feel himself being synched with the sword. He felt more powerful...SAMEHADA... Dray stretched forth the sword as the bandages at the head of the sword loosened to show forth a head with teeth and tongue and scales on it's body. The creature or weapon rather, moved it's tongue slowly before retracted it. The strechted the weapon forth with his arms but instead, the weapon's handle elongated and it even seemed to bend perfectly. This was truly a weapon to behold. The hilt was carved into a beautiful skull that looked dreaded. With a great weapon comes greater responsiblities..

The weapon gave dray a new feeling. A sensible aura. What else was this magnificent sword capable of? Dray held the sword vertically as he felt the scales on it's body giving it the name shark- skin.
Dray could vividly remember that the fight with the kiri shinobi was on the borders of kirigakure which was covered in water. Of course, they both used the water walking practice to stay atop the water since they were pretty skilled in ninjutsu. As dray had almost beaten the life out of the ninja, he did something that made the samehada go into him or him go into the samehada, either way. The ninja just seemed to fuse with samehada which gave him a complete shark appearance and at the same time, it increased his speed in the water that it was hard for dray to trace. Maybe dray could try this too but how would he look. His looks would be terrific. Him having a shark appearance but he would not know until he tried it.
Dray put samehada to his upper torso. He waited for some minutes but nothing happened. He removed the weapon and closed it to his back for some minutes too but nothing seemed to happened. Dray thought about how this happened. Most fusion technique requested the the fusing object went into what was to be fused but such was not the case here. The weapon- samehada was not fusing with him. Was it rejected him or what exactly was hapening or maybe the weapon needed something to trigger it. To enhance it's reaction. Maybe a positive catalyst to fasten it's reaction time.

Dray performed some handseals and flooded the area with water. A powerful technique that created more than a river of water. The samehada was on dray's right hand as it was already bandage. Feeling the cool temperature of the water, the weapon shaked on dray's hand. Dray dipped the weapon into the water and brought it out. This caused a reaction within the weapon as it shook vigourously and tore open the bandages in which it was encased in. It now revealed it's true form. It was a living creature of scales. It was grey in color. It's teeth visible along with it's tongue. It seemed to be breathing if looked at closely.. As dray felt chakra being drained from his body, he also felt chakra coming into him. There seemed to be a gate way between his chakra path and the chakra path of another. Since there was no other visible thing around, it was definetly the samehadas'. Feeling adrenaline all over his body system, dray closed his eyes and gripped frimly unto the handle of samehada... With a roaring voice, he let out two words of command..."SHARK MODE".. As these words hit the surroundings waters, the began to whirl around dray. He felt the gate of his chakra path open to lock with the gate of samehada's chakra path. What was happening was unknown to him but he felt samehada been absorbed into his right hand and getting into his body system. He felt his upper clothes being shredded off from his skin. The cold wind blew against his bare chest but in an instant, the blowing wind seemed to hit a solid skin like an armour was worn over dray. The feeling of recovery was now strong. The part of his hand were he had earlier cut for blood to come out now patched themselves together without seeming to leave a trace. His worn out self, his low circulating blood seemed to pump perfectly and endlessly. His little and unimportant broken bones were mended. His cell tissues regenerated slowly. He felt like a new being. He opened his eyes to see the surroundings in a different view. Little water was in his eyes but that did not disturb him. He had no clothes on except his black trousers and no foot wears. His ears were a bit pointed. He had what looked like gills on his neck. His chest was broadend. his hands and feets were webbed. His legs had more muscles. Same with his arms. Probably to enhance swimming. With this new power, dray dipped into the water with his new body as he saw that he was not drowning or suffocating. The gill- like stuffs on his neck enabled him to breath likewise the webbed hands and feet. They propelled him faster and his eye sight was sharper. He swam downward as he shot up out of the water and dived back in gracefully. The sight was a beauty to behold. His speed was beyond his own imagination. How in the world did this kind of weapon exist, it was beyond his understanding. Adding to this, he had claws on all his fingers and toes. Pointed claws they were. It would be a disaster to whoever this power was unleashed upon. He decided to keep it a secret until he had the need to use it..
He could now feel samehada within his mind. Telepathically, he spoke to it and within the blink of an eye, dray powered down and the samehada was back in his right hand but his clothes were of course, still torn.
Keeping the samehada back in bandages to stop it from showing it's true form and to leave other that saw him with it thinking, he hung it on his back and left the arena with the flooded area that would not dry out for a long time.
